I just want to know does this look like a train platform to anyone?? If so, it might mean we see trains!!

It looks quite possible to me, but it's hard to tell for sure!

1. Don't pick up the phone - You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone.2. Don't let him in - You have to kick him out again.3. Don't be his friend - You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning.And if you're under him, you ain't gettin' over him. ♥

Let's look though at WHAT the H&G task is....it is a pretty long way from the Beard, and USUALLY Detour options are closer...

SO either the Gingerbread or the Beard may not be a Detour then?? One could be an Active RI?? And if the presumed speedbump (spec) is also in Oberammergau then we may need to go with Oberammergau as the Detour option.

Thoughts??

STill want to know where they GET the gnome, lol! Suppose it is something like this??

Go to Unterammergau, choose a beard, make it look like the gnome, when the beardee is satisfied, he will give you your next clue and a GNOME??

You were close - they are across the street from a miniature golf course in Oberammergau. Looks like Brendon and Rachel are taking a rather circuitous route from the Hansel and Gretel house to the ice rink/curling task.

BTW - I'm not sure if Brendon is carrying a gnome or the gingerbread house they just built.

I'm wondering why they seem to have that gnome with them at all the tasks. I know you must take it with you to the pitstop, but teams are carrying it to the gingerbread detour, to the castle, plus they're curling with it. It's kinda throwing me off as to figuring out where they get it.I'm thinking the castle is not the pitstop, simply because Vanessa and Ralph and Bopper and Mark are walking there in the promo. It just seems like it's a RI.

Could it be that they get the gnome at the curling task , the house at the gingerbread task and have to carry these item's with them to the pitstop (somewhere in the castle) ? I'm an am amateur , so be gentle

I do not think that Neuschwanstein Castle is the pitstop, since is was the pitstop for The Amazing Race 3 leg 7. I also think that they will drive from Turin to Bavaria, to showcase Ford.I just wonder if the pitstop is in Munich, like is was in The Amazing Race 9 leg 3. Some cool places could be Nymphenburg Palace, Olympiasee in Olympiapark or the Allianz Arena.

Munich is a bit of a stretch. How about something closer, like Linderhof Palace, in Ettal. It's smack-dab in the middle of all the task locations, and has a Mad King Ludwig connection. And we know how WRP likes castles/palaces for pitstops. But this is all speculation, and we have other threds to discuss that. Back to spoiling.

Typically the next clue would be written on the bottom of the travelocity gnome. I have never seen a team get both a clue AND a gnome. Additionally, since we do not have any place that shows the teams do NOT have gnome, is it possible they receive the gnome at the pit start?

CBS released a couple of new clips today:One clip is 31 seconds long and shows Vanessa & Ralph walking (and bickering) to Neuschwanstein Castle. In the clip, Ralph tells Vanessa, "We're three right now" -> currently in 3rd place?

The other clip is 1:21 seconds long and shows Bopper & Mark, Brendan & Rachel, and Kerri & Stacy at the gingerbread house task.
